About Jiangsu

Jiangsu Business at a Glance

Gross Provincial Product: $1.14T (2016)

Since the late 1970s, Jiangsu province has been an economic hotspot and one of the wealthiest areas in China. Pillar industries include machinery, electronics, chemicals, and automobile. The agricultural sector is based on crops of rice, wheat, peanuts, and cotton. Although the province has some petro-carbon deposits, more significant deposits include rock salt, sulfur, phosphorus, and marble. The development and wealth of cities like Nanjing, Suzhou, Xuzhou, and Wuxi have defined the province’s success story; however, the province must now address a large wealth gap that divides the province into a poorer north and a richer south.
